papabear, I definitely like eating real food much better than shakes and bars, even with the nuisance of having to figure out the calorie counts of different foods I like to eat. I also like the flexibility of 5:2. Have you read the book or checked out the ‘why’ ‘how’ and ‘faq’ tabs? I started 5:2 last August, lost 40 pounds in 40 weeks (faster at the beginning than at the end) with 5:2 plus gradually increasing my walking to an average of 10,000 steps/day, BMI went from 26.9 to 20.1, am now in the process of figuring out maintenance.
